Okay, just because someone's dog hasn't 'glided' across the show ring doesn't make it not breed worthy. I'm sure that word has now got my point across. Improve the breed - the criteria should be to breed to breed worthy dogs, not limit oneself (thus the breed) to breeding only to dogs that have been shown. Especially those breeders that claim to have been breeding and showing for years, they know whether or dog is breed worthy just as much as any show judge and if they don't then maybe they shouldn't be breeding as they are in no position to "improve the breed".
Personally, still like the word prance...watch them in shows, those little heads so proud and happy (well, some at least, some look like abused circus dogs forced to perform) but from now I on I will refrain from using prance and use glide.
